A new display at the Musée National d'Histoire et d'Art (MNHA) Shop will allow visitors to discover the works of three members of Luxembourg's engraving workshop 'Empreinte'.

The exhibition forms part of a collaboration between the MNHA and 'Empreinte', the latter of which celebrated its 20th anniversary in October 2015. The three new artist honoured use a variety of techniques, with co-founder of the Gibraltar and Empreinte engraving workshops Diane Jodes focusing on linocut and etching; Luxembourgish art/painting graduate Sylvie Karier producing aquatint on copper; and Empreinte co-founder and metals specialist Yvonne Rodesch concentrating on aquatint, etching and Hayter.

The Empreinte - or 'Footprint' in English - workshop was created in 1994 by 13 engravers looking to establish an outlet in which to experiment, discuss and disseminate art and is now comprised by over forty affiliated artists. To find out more about the association, contact Serge Koch, principal coordinator of the collaboration with the MNHA, at serkoch@yahoo.fr or +352 691 64 66 72.

The works of these three artists will be exhibited and sold at the MNHA point of sale until 29 February 2016.
